How to Make a Homemade Electric Guitar : Gluing Frets on a Homemade Electric Guitar

[1701mcfly]

I have been refretting my OWN guitars for about 18 years.I learned from Dan Erlewine video's. It would NEVER occur too me to use Super Glue. I think thats a BAD idea. I use 5 minute epoxy. Hey-but if it works for you-go for it.

i like how the video doesn't stop until he gets his blink in

[GtheJAR]

aww... I want to know how frets are made;[

[LoneRiderz]

Capillary action... That's what "sucking" in the glue into the gap.

[jplesner]

what is crazy glue?

[DenEixaNamePote]

He said: this is a piece of???

[kibblezandbits1]

wat if u dont have a fret press?

[snakev10v5]

omg dude you suck you DO NOT use super glue on this sort of thing for gods sake man it will not work pro guitar makers use a proper wood glue E.G pva glue and they put it under the part they want glued in.

[ortzinator]

@snakev10v5 super glue is strong, dries fast, and can be thinned to fit into tight spaces, there's nothing wrong with super glue unless you're a purist

littw zig zag. FAIL

[TheSoadisthebest]

@greenxgreenman super glue wont work it will come off quickly as u play it

[peterpopp28]

So much for how to. Someone needs to teach this guy how to make a video properly on youtube that i love so much. Good luck pal:)

[taufoofar]

The words are annoying. Why put the there? Stupid expert village...

I assume they are referring to Cyro acrylite glue, also called CA glue. I used to use 3-5 second or 7-9 second types for tabletop wargame models, its used for alot of scale models or RC vehicles. It can be used to fill gaps because of capillary action. You can also use a spray on accelerator or misted water to solidify it.

whats crazy glue? please someone answer

[bbqwertyuiop]

dude u dont know wat crazy glue is carzy glue is a glue but a strong one and its a glue that drys quickly

[BigMacFury]

Glue that drys fast

[sasanka333]

in england it's called super glue. in slovakia it's called a second glue - dries in a second... really, needs to be supported for 1/2 minute at least

[rudoman22]

its simply called crazy glue. its really strong and usually comes in small tubes, you usually need to keep it refigerated to.

[lithiumnbassist09]

@Cumbulu

crazy glue is like guerrilla glue. its like superglue on steroids.

[EPICFAILSAM]

instant dry super glue

i made a video responce on how i made a guitar.

it's not done yet, nether is the guide, but as i see the workshop of this guy, i realise i;m jsut an amature, however my guitar looks pretty good now :o

[Metallica1005]

how would you hold down the frets if you don't have the arbor press. maybe a C-clamp?

[theater40]

i dont think u want to do that because if theres to much pressure u might leave a dent in the fret which would mess your playing up but if u used something to cousion the clamp on to the fret than i think u would be safe.

[alaznist]

a c-clamp would work if you use something to apply equal pressure across the fret, and remember not to apply too much pressure
